SETD7 Gene Summary [Human]
Enables histone-lysine N-methyltransferase activity and p53 binding activity. Involved in peptidyl-lysine dimethylation and peptidyl-lysine monomethylation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to DNA damage stimulus and heterochromatin organization. Located in chromosome and nucleolus. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human SETD7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
